King of the Beach
Wavves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let the sun burn my eyes
Let it burn my back
Let it sear through my tights
I'll feel wide wide open

Let the sun burn my eyes
Let it burn my back
At the beach
In my dreams
But you still

You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop me

King of the beach
King of the beach

Let the sun burn my eyes
Let it burn my back
Let it burn through my tights
I'll feel wide wide open

At the beach ???
??? wide wide open
At the beach
In my dreams
But you still

You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop me

King of the beach

Never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop me
You're never gonna stop me

King of the beach
King of the beach
King of the beach
King of the beach
King of the beach

Been listening to Wavves since like 2009/2010. I love you, Wavves. Nathan, Stephen, Alex, Ross, Ryan, Zach, Billy, Jacob, and Brian. Everyone who's been associated with this band has been magnificent. From the early days of Beach Goth to the Cloud Nothings collab, Wavves for days.
